Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Drought stress is a major limitation to global wheat production. Here, we demonstrate that the wheat gene TaCOMT1A, encoding a caffeic acid O‐methyltransferase, plays a crucial role in enhancing drought tolerance in wheat. Overexpression of TaCOMT1A significantly improved drought tolerance at the seedling stage, as evidenced by higher survival

miR172‐AP2 Controls Age‐Dependent Regeneration Competence in Populus
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plants maintain remarkable regenerative potential, yet this capacity declines with developmental age, limiting clonal propagation and biotechnological applications. Here, we show that the miR172‐AP2 module serves as a central determinant of regeneration competence in Populus.

A Century of Understanding and Harnessing Heterosis
Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Heterosis has shaped modern plant breeding since Darwin's 19th century observations that outcrossing restores vigour lost through selfing. While 100 years old, its mechanistic basis and deployability remain actively debated. Classical models of dominance, overdominance and epistasis provided the foundation for hybrid breeding and converted ...

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Seed defence priming is emerging as a novel, cost‐efficient and environmentally safe tool for pest management. It has been proposed as a means to uncouple the defence‐growth trade‐off in plants by enhancing defence responses with minimal fitness costs, but the mechanisms underlying this role remain elusive.

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Molecular chaperones play a central role in the plant proteostasis machinery by aiding the folding of nascent proteins, preventing aggregation, and repairing or degrading damaged proteins. These functions are especially essential during abiotic and biotic stress, which can destabilise cellular proteins and disrupt metabolic homoeostasis.

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Light is a primary environmental signal that induces plant anthocyanin accumulation. The plant growth regulator 5‐aminolevulinic acid (ALA) has also been proven to effectively promote anthocyanin accumulation in apple. However, the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain unknown.
